A member of the stylish Shun Classic line, this multipurpose Santoku comfortably handles any kitchen cutting need from chopping to mincing, dicing, and slicing. Resembling something between a chef’s and a cleaver, this tool features a wide blade measuring 7-inches in length. The scalloped detailing along the ’s cutting edge creates air pockets during use to prevent food from adhering its steel surface.

Leveraging a 90-year history of superior workmanship, Shun knives are precision-forged in Japan by renowned blade manufacturer KAI. Using technologically advanced processes, a VG-10 "super steel" core is clad with 16 layers of high-carbon stainless steel to produce a rust-free Damascus-look blade. The Damascus detailing not only enhances the ’s aesthetic appeal, it also prevents morsels from sticking and avoids crushing or damaging foods. Forming a comfortable D-shaped hold, a fused blend of hardwood veneers and resin comprise the unique ebony Pakkawood handle. A traditionally offset stainless-steel bolster protects knuckles while a steel end-cap finishes the piece. Although dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. This product includes a lifetime warranty. -- Amy Arnold
